Notes / Commercial Description:
A witbier bursting with good karma. Made with dried organic orange slices, fresh-cut lemongrass and a bit of coriander, this Belgian-style white beer is a great thirst quencher.

Pours an effervescent gold with a sliver of cream colored head that rapidly falls away. Stays effervescent, minimal head retention & lacing

S: Green banana peel & juicy fruit

T: Follows the nose, also a little rubber band & white pepper up front, a hint of orange peel as well. Slight dryness & more green banana peel as this warms. Finishes with juicy fruit & a little bit of wheatyness

Straw colored and somewhat hazy with a quickly thinning white head from an aggressive pour. Standard Belgian yeasty scent with some sweetness to the nose. Tastes like a wit some twang and some sweetness and a bready and biscuit malt finish. Pretty well carbonated and almost a bit creamy on the feel. This beer is well put together and pretty tasty but I was hoping for a little more of something from the flavor.

This beer pours a clear yellow with a large head. The aroma features a hint of clove, bubblegum, orange peel, and black pepper. The flavor starts semi sweet and citrus heavy, with notes of orange and lemon peel and sweet orange flesh, followed by bubblegum and a hint of clove and mint. Not really strong coriander, but that is no issue for me. Mouthfeel is very light with broad, foamy carbonation. Overall a very nice Witbier, with a lighter body but a sweeter taste.

Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a bright white frothy head, when poured aggressively. The smell is definately overwhelmingly citrusy. The initial taste is light, citrusy, crisp, then the slight banana-clove brings up the rear. Aftertaste is only slightly dry as well, which makes u want more. Overall, this is a very well balanced style that would be great outside on a hot day, or any other day, for that matter

Light hold color,medium carbonation that added to a neat perfect feel. Aroma was spice and peel with the taste being the same with a slight bite in the end with a bit of yeast also. This was like witbier -light- in the sense that all the elements were there but just not overpowering. It was a really refreshing but still flavorful beer that I would try again

...this one was a bit of a miss. Though solid enough for the style, it didn't overly impress. The beer had a nice look with it's yellow-orange mixture in coloration, but the smell was lacking. Too much of the floral presentation for my liking, it was also very grassy to my nose, very much earthy. Mouthfeel was light-bodied and crisp, but the taste followed that floral presentation that met my nose, I guess the grass taste doesn't suit me too well. A decent brew, I'm sure there are those that will gravitate to this, but this will be a pass for me moving forward.

Pours a transparent straw color with a negligible cap of white foam. Quintessentially wit aroma smells of citrus and coriander, with a touch of barnyard funk.

The taste follows the nose closely, with lemon, coriander, pepper and an even more substantive dose of funk that gives it a more rustic character than your garden variety witbier. Medium body and carbonation make for a perky mouthfeel with a dry finish.

Overall, this a slightly more complex take on the style that will get it done in the refreshment department, as you'd expect.
